Living in the Area
There’s no place quite like the Permian Basin—a
largely untouched beauty dotted with pockets of modern development. Home of UT Permian Basin’s main campus, Odessa is one of the
largest cities in West Texas. A diverse city with a rich history dating back to the 1880s, Odessa has undergone major transformations over
the last two decades. Not long ago, Forbes Magazine ranked Odessa as one of the fastest-growing small cities in the United States.
As the home to former President George H. W. Bush and major global corporations—like Chevron and Concho—Odessa offers a depth of
prestige and opportunity that few cities like it can match.
Stretching from eastern New Mexico and covering most of West Texas
(Lubbock to the north, the Rio Grande Valley to the south), the Permian Basin is a collection of smaller basins. But in all, the Permian
Basin covers 75,000 square miles—making it one of the larger basins in North America. At the beginning of the 21st century, the
Permian Basin—which had once been the source of vast oil supplies—seemed to be fading in importance. Thanks to advancements in
energy exploration, the Permian Basin was quickly named the largest oil reserve on the planet. Its backyard is expected to fuel the American
and global economies for at least the next two decades.
As more and more energy is sourced, other industries have appeared alongside
it—including business and finance, healthcare, education, construction, digital technology, transportation, and public sector jobs. In
other words, the latest “oil boom” has spurred a larger “economic boom” that is already paying major dividends to
the students and professionals who are seizing this once-in-a-generation opportunity.
